We have to choose a city to draw inspiration from and using various fabrication techniques, make four neck pieces. I choose Tokyo.

on an other note, Went to my a Rock and Roll party last night dressed as Siouxsie Sioux from Siouxsie and the banshees, complete with crazy eye make up. The photos of we all turned out quite scary though hehe xx

My school (central TAFE) gets called up to do interviews when it comes to fashion, because most of my teachers are either designers or in the industry. The paper was doing a piece on people who recycle clothing and collect vintage pieces.

So my pattren making teacher heard that I collect vintage clothing and repair and sell it, she asked me if I wanted to be in the paper.

and was like OHMMYGGGOOOSHHING YESHHHH!

Next day I had a photographer come in, and the day after we had the interview.

Today was pretty nice. caught up with some old friends and went shopping in the rain. I got an late birthday present from my friend Patches, a book about David Bowie. I also brought presents for two of my friends birthdays. Gabe and his Girlfriend, Phoebe. Have birthdays right next to each other... its so cute!

So I got some lovely gifts and picked up a couple of things for me (tehehe)

I got a pair of blue suede shoes, a fringed black leather jacket and some pink tights (all from op-shops).

Also, I might be going another photo shoot too, this time in a studio. The photographer who helped Gabe out gave me his card, said if I wanted to do another shoot, he would be able to help.

omg.
I can't wait for this. Sofia Coppola, the genius that brought us The Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation and Marie Antoinette is flimming a new movie starring Stephen Dorff and Dakota Fanning's little sister Elle. The plot go something like this:

"Johnny Marco (Stephen Dorff) is a bad-boy A-List actor stumbling through a life of excess while living at Hollywood’s legendary Chateau Marmont Hotel. His days are a haze of drinks, girls, fast cars and fawning fans. Cocooned in this celebrity-induced artificial world, Johnny has lost all sense of his true self. Until, that is, his 11-year-old daughter Cleo (Elle Fanning) unexpectedly shows up and unwittingly begins to anchor him. Johnny’s fragile connection to real life slowly revives in her presence. So when the time comes fro Cleo to leave, his sense of loss is palpable, but the gift of hope she has also brought him leads to a beautiful, poetic denouement imbued with all of Coppola’s remarkable powers to conjure mood and atmosphere." - The Playlist

Written and directed by Sofia, its something of a family affiar, with her brother Roman and executive produced by their Francis Ford Coppola (along with Fred Roos and Paul Rassam) through his American Zoetrope studio.

The film will debut at the Venice Film Festival, then everywhere else at the end of the year on 22nd of December. You can watch the trailer here.

Kate Nash - Kiss That Grrrl ("Kiss that Grrrl and I will shrink up / And I will die and I will think up /1, 000 ways that I can hurt you and / you will never touch my hand!"we have all felt that way sometime? right?)

Gorillaz - Stylo (off the new album. the clip is so good, as it the one for On Melancholy Hill)

Gorillaz - On Melancholy Hill

Elliott Smith - Needle In The Hay

Adam And The Ants - Ant Music

Radiohead - All I Need (can radiohead make a bad song? no. never)

MGMT - It's Working (quite a new direction from MGMT, it is quite interesting.)

Daft Punk - Robot Rock

Radiohead - House Of Cards (I love raidohead, and the album this song is off, (In Rainbows) needs more attention. does not get respect it deserves.)

like always, you can listen to the previous playlist on my Mixpod page.

The the photo is from a party I went to on Thursday, it was a friends of mines birthday and he threw this huge bash. the photo was taken by Sofia-Seika Atrutkepic (what an amazing name right?). Anyway the party ended up getting a little out of control and the cops got called, dogs and all. just as we left the sirens whizzed by. It was a good night...
